Next to the day's special dishes, the chalkboard at Alluette's Café proudly proclaims a few phrases that may shock loyalists to the fried-chicken school of soul food: "Vegans Welcome," "This is a no Pork Cafe," "Organic & Natural Products," and "Fresh Local Seafood." Alluette Jones-Smalls has been cooking up what she calls "holistic soul food" in various ventures since 1993, but after she overcame the cancer that nearly claimed her life, she embraced the concept of fresh ingredients, free of toxic chemicals, with more vigor than ever.
Now, she's come back to her Charleston roots at Aluette's Café. She cooks everything up to order, which takes a little longer—but Travel + Leisure magazine makes it clear that it's worth the wait, calling the food "vegetable-centric, truly luscious, Southern food." O, The Oprah Magazine's Celia Barbour praised the shrimp as "quite possibly the tastiest … I've ever eaten, dusted with spicy flour and fried so lightly that each sweet crustacean bore a crisp, fragile shell." Alluette doesn't add sugar to any of her dishes or drinks—including her signature Aunt Mary's iced tea, which is sweetened with fruit juice.
Guests can admire the local artwork on Alluette's brightly painted walls as they wait for local shrimp over organic, seasonal greens or hormone-free grilled chicken with brown rice and lima beans. Alluette frequently invites live musicians, poets, and other artists to perform in the shop, and out on the patio, herbs and flowers uproot themselves to waltz for diners.

Sweet 185?s dedication to natural ingredients is apparent in its organic facials, which rely on plant essences, and its holistic massages, which use herbal oils. The same can be said about its hair removal treatments?rather than rely on chemical-laden waxes, Sweet 185?s experts hark back to the ancient Egyptian technique of sugaring, using an un-heated paste made simply of sugar, water, and lemon to remove hair. Because of this excellence, they have been included in USA Today's Top 10 Spas in Charleston.
Meanwhile, the spa's oxygen therapy treatments have caught the attention of both the Charleston Mercury and the Moultrie News. Inhaling four to five times the normal amount of oxygen in the air while reclining in the spa's leather zero-gravity chairs is said to promote healing and heighten memory, and is far easier than doing aerobics in space.
After their treatment, guests can peruse Sweet 185 boutique, where staff have handpicked gifts and goods ranging from natural chocolates to jewelry to organic sunscreen. There, visitors will also find Angel Rox clothing made with organic cotton and low-impact dyes, Jurlique creams and lotions that are never tested on animals, and Nadina bath towels, made with sustainably grown bamboo rayon.

Doctor of Chiropractic Stephen Khouri, the exclusive chiropractor of College of Charleston athletics, was born prematurely without fully developed lungs. As a result, he suffered from severe asthma and other respiratory problems throughout his early childhood, at least until he was referred to a chiropractor. After undergoing chiropractic care, he noticed that his asthma attacks were significantly less severe, and so, at the age of 6, he decided he would grow up to be a chiropractor and not the dinosaur most little boys dream of being.
Now, at Khouri Chiropractic Health Massage, Dr. Khouri and his nimble-fingered team assuage patients' aches with holistic, integrated medicine. He and his staff prioritize chiropractic and massage among their many treatments, utilizing adjustments and muscle-manipulation to ease aches and help bodies heal themselves. An acupuncturist is on hand to insert hair-thin needles into specific body parts and stimulate the body's chi, and nutrition and exercise advice help fortify the body.

Charleston Guide

Charleston was founded in 1670—a full century before the city would suffer a British siege during the Revolutionary War, and nearly two before the Civil War would erupt with cannon shots in its harbor. Those two events and their contexts would prove formative for the city, and signs of them are hard to miss today. War monuments line the waterfront, the spires of colonial-era churches punctuate the skyline, and horse-drawn carriages clop along the cobblestone streets.

If you're looking for things to do that will bring you closer to an understanding of Charleston’s rich history, visit Fort Sumter, which is accessible via a ferry that leaves from the Visitor Education Center downtown. On the island, groups tour the historic grounds and marvel at artifacts such as the 33-star U.S. flag that flew the night the first shots of the Civil War were fired. The fort is also visible from the White Point Garden on the mainland, where you can stare down the barrels of retired Confederate cannons and take in views of Charleston Harbor.

More recently, Charleston has integrated a vibrant arts scene into its Old South identity. The city’s streets are lined with top-tier art galleries and antique stores, and live jazz performances rage throughout the night. Step out onto King Street to browse third-generation clothiers that have set up shop in historic buildings, or drop by the Gibbes Museum of Art to admire colonial portraits, contemporary lithographs, and pieces from the early 20th-century period known as the Charleston Renaissance.

The islands that buffer the city's coast have an appeal all their own. Their main attraction is a surplus of luxury beach resorts, many of which feature popular and highly rated golf courses. Wild Dunes Resort's Harbor Golf Course is typical in that many of its holes afford spectacular views of the water. There's nothing typical about the 17th hole, however, which earned the nickname "The Marsh Monster" thanks to its unforgiving terrain.

In recent years, Charleston has cultivated a reputation as a major culinary destination—the James Beard Foundation named a different Charleston chef the best in the Southeast each year from 2008 to 2010. At Fig, chefs use seasonal ingredients to create dishes of fresh sea bass and suckling pig confit, though Hominy Grill is the place to sample regional favorites such as shrimp and grits or fried chicken with country ham gravy.
